The Password Game
Type a password. Every time you satisfy a rule, a harder one appears. Twelve rules later you will have built something no cracking tool is getting through — and you will know exactly why each rule exists.
Everything runs in your browser and nothing is stored. Still, please invent something here rather than typing a password you actually use.
Rule 1: Your password must be at least 8 characters.
Length is the single biggest factor in how long a password survives a cracking attempt.
What the game is actually teaching
Most account takeovers do not involve any hacking at all. Someone reuses a password that leaked from an old forum, or types it into a page that looked like their bank. The rules in this game map onto the handful of habits that break that chain: make it long, make it unpredictable, keep personal details out of it, and never use it twice.
When you finish, use the generator for your real accounts and store the result in a password manager. Save your memory for the two or three secrets you must type by hand.
Password Game FAQ
What is the ScamBare Password Game?+
It is a short browser game where you type one password and new rules unlock as you satisfy the previous ones. Each rule teaches a real habit that keeps accounts out of an attacker's hands — length, unpredictability, no personal details, no reuse of the obvious words everyone picks.
Is my password sent anywhere?+
No. The game runs entirely in your browser and nothing you type is stored or transmitted. Even so, treat it as practice: do not type a password you actually use anywhere.
How is this different from a password generator?+
The generator makes a strong password for you. The game trains your judgement about what strong actually means, so weak passwords start to look wrong to you at a glance.
